Tour description

We will meet at the main entrance of the Metropolitan Cathedral.

We will discover something very interesting in the excavation that took place between 2004-2006 in the Archbishop's Crypt, whose finding is crucial for the history of Chile.

We will also tour the Plaza de Armas and share mysterious and paranormal stories of the Portal Fernández Concha. Would you dare to stay on the 5th floor of the Portal?

Continuing with the tour along Calle Estado, we will find out the "why" of its name and its function, as well as regarding Paseo Huérfanos.

As we continue the tour, we will learn about the unique arrival of the Augustinians to the area, and we will share a story about the possible first serial killer of those times, which is related to the Christ of May.

Then we will arrive at the San Francisco Church to learn about its historical legacy and witness a celestial miracle.

To conclude our tour, we will visit the beautiful Paris-London neighborhood, which hides disturbing places that are imperceptible in the daylight, but at nightfall, many witness these phenomena linked to the times of Pinochet's dictatorship, such as the "Yucatan Barracks."
